English . . . . No other language comes even close in sheer volume and accuity of manners of expression.
Different answer:
Considering the amount of words in a published dictionary, you may say English. However, if you look at many Asian languages, e.g. Sanskrit, there are so many ways of (non-haphazardly) creating words from verbal roots, that it would be futile to make a comprehensive dictionary. So I would say Sanskrit.
Also, as you say 'richest', I would like to say every Sanskrit word has an inner meaning, it is not a bland single meaning word. One example:
The word for beggar in Sanskrit is Bhikshu.
Bhikshu, doesn't only mean beggar, it also means venerated, detached (From materialism and desire) being.
Hope that settles my point.
English is often considered to have one of the richest vocabularies due to its extensive history, borrowing words from various languages, and its global reach. However, languages such as Mandarin Chinese and Arabic also have rich vocabularies due to their long histories and diverse influences. Ultimately, the richness of a language's vocabulary can be subjective and depends on various factors.
I wouldn't say that one single language has a richer vocabulary than the rest. Instead, each language has different focuses that are richer than others. For instance, the two most common examples I hear are the Inuit who have many, many different words for snow (because of how central a role it plays in their life) and how English has so many different words for time concepts.
There is no definitive answer to this question as richness can be subjective and can refer to different aspects of a language such as vocabulary size, grammatical complexity, cultural nuances, or literary heritage. Some languages often cited as rich include English, Mandarin Chinese, Arabic, and Japanese.

All language is focused on vocabulary. Without vocabulary there is no language.
What does a language's vocabulary tell about its culture?
